Lyrics:

As I strolled down O'Connell Street
The day being warm and grand
I met a maid she asked me trade
I am a singer in a band

And away Sandy my dear Annie
Oh ye country girls can you dance the polka?

I took her to McDonald's
Sure I didn't mind expense
I bought her chips and coffee
It only cost me 70 pence

And away Sandy my dear Annie
Oh ye country girls can you dance the polka?

I asked her out to Sandycove
We travelled out by DART
Please say you'll go; if you say no
You'll surely break me heart

And away Sandy my dear Annie
Oh ye country girls can you dance the polka?

When we arrived at Sandycove
We strolled along the strand
She told me of her folks back home
As we walked hand in hand

And away Sandy my dear Annie
Oh ye country girls can you dance the polka?

I asked her occupation
When questioned she seemed afraid
She looked at me 'Me ramblin' man
I am a Chamber maid'

And away Sandy my dear Annie
Oh ye country girls can you dance the polka?

With me hand upon her shoulder
And the other one on her knee
Me boys me thinks with a few more drinks
With me she will agree

And away Sandy my dear Annie
Oh ye country girls can you dance the polka?

When we arrived at Rathmines Road
We came to her front door
She said 'farewell me ramblin boy
You'll never see me no more'

And away Sandy my dear Annie
Oh ye country girls can you dance the polka?

I caught the bus to Dublin
Saying fair dues to you my dear
No more I'll chase the country girls
I'll stick to Lager beer

And away Sandy my dear Annie
Oh ye country girls can you dance the polka?
